Wulai Scenic Cable Car Introduction

Located in the Wulai District of New Taipei City, the Wulai Scenic Railway initially served to transport timber. Due to the demand from tourists following the development of the Wulai Waterfall, passenger service officially began in 1963, using manual power to push tourists. As the number of visitors gradually increased, motorization was implemented in 1974, using a diesel engine to propel the railway cars. In 1987, a tunnel was dug at the waterfall station to replace the original turntable, which has since been in use. After the logging industry disappeared, the railway cars were repurposed for transporting tourists. It wasn't until 1963 that they were transformed into charming tourist carriers. Although the design of the railway cars isn't very luxurious, don’t underestimate them; they are quite fast, covering approximately 1.6 kilometers from the departure station to the waterfall station in no time, allowing passengers to enjoy the lush greenery through the open windows. Alongside the railway tracks runs the Lovers' Trail, which is built along the Nanshi River Valley. It is recommended to take the railway car uphill and then walk down the Lovers' Trail back to the Viewing Bridge. The trail, flanked by mountain walls on one side and flowing water on the other, allows visitors to enjoy a mild exercise while breathing in fresh air and experiencing negative ions, making for a very relaxing outing.
